This is a store-and-forward repeater, normally operates as simplex but I'm going duplex so you don't have to hear transmissions twice if you're close. Incoming transmissions are stored and then re-transmitted on full power when complete, as such a one second message takes a total of two seconds to get across the group.

I'll be in camp Wednesday if you want to program radios, if you don't know how to program your radio I suggest taking a cheat sheet with you so we can get you all hooked up.

If you happen to have a Yeasu VX-7R, FT-1900, or FT-8800 I can program the radio with my computer.

How is the road up Hunter Mountain? Is it idiot-noob friendly? I'd like to go place the repeater with whoever trucks it there and wouldn't mind doing it on two wheels.

While I haven't been there for a few weeks but going up hunter is easy as long as it's dry, the newly washed out parts of Saline Valley Rd are past the turn off between Hunter and Lippencott going down in the valley. There's a very short section while climbing up before Hunter that's a little rocky, but isn't too bad.

Pretty sure Isaac was up there last week and said it was good, check the DV Snow and Road thread in Regional Forum.

Cool, sounds good then. Easy with some challenge is exactly what I need, I gotta get out of my comfort zone a little or I'll never stop being a noob.

I think I am going to head out there after work Wednesday vise Thursday morning, Would I coordinate with the resort for the extra night or the Rally Staff? I would be pulling in around 10 PM or so Wednesday night.
